The former vice-president, who has enjoyed time teaching
and writing since being defeated for the Presidency in
2000, will join former CEO of Goldman Sachs Asset
Management (GSAM) David Blood in founding an investment
management firm dedicated to long-term investing. The firm
will be established by Generation Investment Management as
an independent, employee owned investment management group
that will focus initially on long only global equities.
Gore will be the chairman of the new firm, with Blood as
managing partner.

The group will combine traditional fundamental equity
analysis with sustainability research, according to a press
release. The goal is to align the investments with client
interests, taking into account social, environmental and
geopolitical factors when making investment decisions.
Transparency, innovation, eco-efficiency, community
investing, nurturing employees, managing longer-term risks,
and looking for long-term opportunities will be hallmarks
of the firm, the company stated in the release.

Joining Blood and Gore as founding partners will be:

Mark Ferguson (CIO), formerly co-Head of
Pan-European Research at GSAM.

Peter Harris (COO), formerly head of International
Operations at GSAM.

Peter Knight (President of Generation US),
formerly Managing Director Met West Financial. Knight
previously was Chief of Staff for Gore, as well as
former President Clinton’s campaign manager in 1996. He
is also currently the President of Generation US.
